Side by side # Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 vs Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 The published specifications do not establish a performance upgrade for the Vertex 05 27. Our playing-profile score differences come from a missing balance category (low, medium or high) on its page, which does give a figure in centimetres, not a measured change in play.

Matching published values: shape, weight, core, face, thickness, textured face. Not enough comparable information: frame. **Consider the newer model only if the published changes listed above address something you want to change.

A value published for only one year is marked "not enough comparable information", never "matching". Materials are named in free text, often in two languages, so a different name is shown as "described differently" with both quotes rather than called a change. Feel is the manufacturer’s description of the racket, not our measurement of foam hardness. When a maker states two different values for one spec, both are shown and neither is counted as a change. Price is left out because the stored price is today's, not the launch price. ## Ratings Calculated from published specs, not a play test. Ratings closer than 8 points are called level. The model is not more precise than that. | Rating / 100 | Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 | Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 | | --- | --- | --- | | Power | **70** | **84** | | Control | **26** | **10** | | Handling | **46** | **26** | | Forgiveness | **24** | **24** | | Comfort | **39** | **31** | | Value | **9** | **13** | **Power:** This is a model estimate, not a measured difference: the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 has no published balance category (low, medium or high), so a neutral midpoint was used. **Control:** This is a model estimate, not a measured difference: the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 has no published balance category (low, medium or high), so a neutral midpoint was used. **Handling:** This is a model estimate, not a measured difference: the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 has no published balance category (low, medium or high), so a neutral midpoint was used. **Comfort:** This is a model estimate, not a measured difference: the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 has no published balance category (low, medium or high), so a neutral midpoint was used. ## Published specs, with sources | Spec | Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 | Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 | | --- | --- | --- | | Shape | **Diamond**SourcesForma: Diamante [bullpadel.com](https://www.bullpadel.com/es/6831-pala-bullpadel-vertex-05-27.html) | **Diamond**SourcesForma: Diamante [bullpadel.com](https://www.bullpadel.com/es/5677-pala-bullpadel-vertex-05.html) | | Weight | **365 to 375 g (12.9 to 13.2 oz)**SourcesPeso: 365 - 375 g [bullpadel.com](https://www.bullpadel.com/es/6831-pala-bullpadel-vertex-05-27.html) | **365 to 375 g (12.9 to 13.2 oz)**SourcesPeso: 365 - 375 g [bullpadel.com](https://www.bullpadel.com/es/5677-pala-bullpadel-vertex-05.html) | | Balance | **25.5 cm (10.0 in)**SourcesBalance: Aprox. 25,5 cm [bullpadel.com](https://www.bullpadel.com/es/6831-pala-bullpadel-vertex-05-27.html) | **High, 25.4 cm (10.0 in)**SourcesBalance: Alto / Balance: Aprox. 25,4 cm [bullpadel.com](https://www.bullpadel.com/es/5677-pala-bullpadel-vertex-05.html) | | Core | **Medium, MultiEVA**SourcesComposición interior: MultiEVA.

[bullpadel.com](https://www.bullpadel.com/es/5677-pala-bullpadel-vertex-05.html) | ## Vertex 05 27 or discounted 2026: what does the evidence justify? **If you already like your Vertex 05 2026, the information checked here does not establish a reason to replace it.** For a first purchase, the cheaper 2026 deserves consideration if its actual weight and feel suit you. The shared specifications do not prove the two rackets play identically, and we have not play-tested them. ### First, confirm which Vertex this page compares This is the standard Vertex 05, not the Geo, Hybrid or Comfort. The [older Bullpadel page](https://www.bullpadel.com/es/5677-pala-bullpadel-vertex-05.html) explicitly identifies the 2026 collection. The [newer listing](https://www.bullpadel.com/es/6831-pala-bullpadel-vertex-05-27.html) is named Vertex 05 27. We associate its 27 suffix with 2027, but the checked specification section does not explicitly state the launch year. Confirm the model reference with the seller. ### What the two listings actually show Both list a diamond head, 365 to 375 g, 38 mm thickness, MultiEVA, X-Tend Carbon 12K and an intermediate feel. The 2026 balance entry says high and approximately 25.4 cm; the 27 page gives approximately 25.5 cm without a low, medium or high category. That is a nominal 1 mm difference between approximate figures, not a measurement of the two samples you might buy. The Spanish store displayed €249.99 for the 2026 and €349.99 for the 27 listing when checked on 29 September 2026, a €100 gap. Both displayed in-stock notices. These are dated store observations, not a lowest-price claim or a delivery quote for your country. Check the order total and availability again before paying. ### Why our scores differ despite the similar specifications Our model scores the 2026's published high balance category. It leaves the newer listing's bare centimetre figure unscored and substitutes the neutral midpoint. The other four rating inputs match. Under model version 1.0, that single missing category explains all differences in the five playing-profile scores on this page. **Do not read a higher 2027 control or handling score as proof of an improvement.** Equally, the higher 2026 power score is not evidence from a hitting test. We checked the calculation by leaving the 2026 balance category unscored in memory; its five scores then matched the newer model. That is a check of our formula, not a new specification. The published records and formula were not changed. See [how the model treats missing inputs](https://padeltrue.com/methodology). ### What would make the extra cost worthwhile? Ask for an explicit list of changes between these exact versions, then try to verify the difference that matters to you. Matching material names cannot settle construction, durability or rebound. General claims about a reinforced structure also need a clear comparison point before they establish a year-to-year change. For a demo, record each sample's fitted grips, weights and protector, then alternate the rackets on the shots you want to improve.Decide from the actual setup, your trial and the delivered price rather than the model year alone. ## Which one ### Choose the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 if you have tried this exact version and prefer its feel enough to justify the current delivered price. Ask the seller to confirm the model reference and any documented changes. The higher control, handling and comfort scores here come from a missing balance category and do not establish an upgrade. [Full Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 page](https://padeltrue.com/rackets/bullpadel-vertex-05-2027) ### Choose the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 if its actual weight and feel suit you and it still costs less after delivery. The Spanish store price was lower when checked on 29 September 2026; compare current offers before paying. Its higher power score here does not establish a measured advantage. If you already like this version, the checked specifications give no established reason to replace it. [Full Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 page](https://padeltrue.com/rackets/bullpadel-vertex-05-2026) ## Questions ### Which has more power, the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 or the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026? The Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 leans further toward power, rating 84 against 70 for the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027. This is a model estimate, not a measured difference: the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 has no published balance category (low, medium or high), so a neutral midpoint was used. ### Which is easier on the arm, the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 or the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026? The Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 rates 39 for comfort against 31 for the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026. This is a model estimate, not a measured difference: the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 has no published balance category (low, medium or high), so a neutral midpoint was used. This describes feel and physical demand, it is not medical advice. ### Which is better for an improving player, the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 or the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026? They are level for forgiveness: 24 and 24. ### Which is cheaper, the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 or the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026? The Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 was cheaper when checked: Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 €349.99 on 28 September 2026, Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 €249.99 on 28 September 2026. ### Is the Vertex 05 2027 proven to have more control than the 2026? No. Our higher control score for the Vertex 05 27 comes from substituting a neutral midpoint for its missing balance category. The page does give a balance figure, about 25.5 cm. The 2026 page supplies the category high. This is a difference in model inputs, not measured playing performance. ### Are the Vertex 05 27 and 2026 the same racket? The checked listings share several specifications, but that does not prove identical construction or feel. We have not play-tested the pair. Ask for a documented change list for these exact standard versions, rather than the Geo, Hybrid or Comfort. ### Does Bullpadel explicitly date the Vertex 05 27 listing as 2027? The checked title uses the suffix 27, which is the basis for our 2027 association. Unlike the older listing, its specification section does not explicitly state the launch year. Confirm the reference before ordering. [Open this pair in the compare tool](https://padeltrue.com/compare/#a=bullpadel-vertex-05-2027&b=bullpadel-vertex-05-2026)
